You get a Carbon copy anytime you sign a reciept

Actually John, since people on this forum tend to be really picky (oh, you engineering-types), when you sign a receipt, you receive back a "carbonless copy" - it uses specially-designed carbonless paper.

And Art's "fallout shelter" made me remember our "air raid drills" back in elementary school - similar to "fire drills", we gathered in the windowless hallways of our school and crouched down with our hands over our heads. Not sure how effective that would have been, but that's what we did.
